I am very happy with the progress my hair has made since this journey began almost a year ago.
Never in my life have I been this committed to anything as I have been to maintaining healthy hair.
I co-wash, deep con and twist regularly to get my hair to the place I want it to be.
The hard work is paying off. I have finally gotten over the rough patch I experience from dying my hair and the damaged parts have been annihilated.
The little 'fro is on the rise and pretty soon I will be rocking a fierce afro.
The most important step for me has been investing in a water filter. The water here is no joke. It is harsh and damaging. You can tell from all the anti-hair fall potions that are sold in the stores.
The filter has been a hair savior and it was worth every dirham I paid.
My tub of organic extra virgin coconut oil has also been a key player in the health of my hair. If you don't know about it, you better ask somebody!
Coconut oil is amaze balls.
I massage a little into my hair, leave it on for 30-45 minutes, then rinse and viola I have beautiful, untangled hair.
I also coat the ends of my hair to help keep them moisturized throughout the week.
Sometimes I spritz my hair with a little concoction I threw together made up of filtered water, aloe vera juice/gel, tea tree, lavender, sage and rosemary oils, rose water and glycerine.
This mix adds moisture to my hair. I live in a desert y'all and the climate can be severely drying for my natural coils.
Oh and I use my Shea Moisture Curling Souffle mixed with a little Eco Styler Gel (amazing new addition to my arsenal of products) to do my twist outs.

So there it is folks. Just me and my 'fro living it up in Abu Dhabi.
I have loved every minute of this natural journey and have no regrets about the decision I made.
Ciao!!
